Adelphi site for sale

hey Bill

Don't know if you noticed, but I was driving south on Clark Street yesterday and spotted a for sale sign on the Adelphi lot; so maybe Joe Moore's little real estate weasel has given up on his hole in the ground, or been foreclosed on? I know that's one of the driving forces in your blog, but I hadn't noticed anything lately, so thought I'd let you know.

Cheers. Love the wintertime photos.

Bill

New fencing at the Adelphi Hole

I couldn't tell you how many times I've called for a new fence at the Adelphi Hole.

A new chainlink fence is replacing the destroyed one right now.

About time.

Rogers Park Painting at the Library Speaks 1000 Words

If the Adelphi Theater was an insignificant eye sore that needed to be torn down, which was what Joe Moore had succeeded in doing. Then why did this artist include the Adelphi in this wonderful painting which signifies the beauty and uniqueness of Rogers Park?

Thank you, and let's not re-elect an Alderman that would do this to our neighborhood in years to come.
